Over the past few years, an Epilepsy Surgery Program has been established in our institution, with a high success rate in surgical cases. At the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit, we admit patients for epilepsy syndromic classification, ruling out pseudoseizures and in drug resistant cases for presurgical evaluation. In presurgical evaluation we continuously investigate brain activity by long term Video-EEG monitoring and search for the specific areas of the brain where epileptic seizure activity is generated.

Sophisticated specialized tests are carried out, including brain MRI, f-MRI, MR spectroscopy, tractography, ictal Interictal PET, combined with neuropsychological examinations. All this collected data guides the Epileptologist and the Neurosurgeons in our program to select cases for surgery. We do resective (curative) and palliative surgeries in drug resistant epilepsy cases.

In the Operating Rooms, further assistance is provided by brain mapping and intraoperative electrocorticorticography applying electrodes over the exposed brain areas, thus making those operations safe and effective. Surgeries like corticoamygdalohippocampectomy, corpus callosotomy, extratemporal resection, lesionectomy are being carried out routinely at our institute.
